Damn that's awesome
I double majored with anthropology because there was a lot of crossover with cultural anth, but ended up getting really into archeology and physical anth by the last two years of college and did a lot more of that. And an international development minor
I hear sodium citrate is incredible for queso too
I always love a fic with a bibliography!! And hey me too though I focused more on China and south Asia
The accent transliterations alone are really something

Pro writers too - Elizabeth George, who writes the Inspector Lynley mysteries, is an anglophile who doesn't understand the English class system
Yup we call it that here too!!
Yeah, they're reasonably common here. I think the difference is that you can buy chicken lunchmeat or cold sandwich stuff like that but it's not wildly common? Apart from like, chicken salad which is its own thing? So if someone says chicken sandwich, you're getting a chicken burger type deal
Yum I'd eat any of those
Yeah I think here if someone said chicken burger to me I'd assume ground chicken (burger but made of chicken). Like a turkey burger is ground turkey etc.
Apparently it's what like everyone else calls chicken sandwiches
Or can a chicken burger be grilled too
Yup, just a chicken sandwich and maybe a fried chicken sandwich if you were ordering it or being more specific

Like when someone names their protagonist “Harry Hole” and you’re like, “I wonder if the author knows what this sounds like in English”
Americans are notoriously awful at this when they try to write "takes place in England/English schools" stuff
Always funny when those regional things slip through, I always find it fun when reading fanfiction. I mean they're writing for free they have no obligation to me but it's just kinda fun
Tbh it sounds like it's used in most non-US English
I was reading a book set in California where they were having a BBQ and the main character was like "I started eating my chicken burger" and I was like 🤔
I think the author grew up in Europe before moving to the US for a PhD so it must have just kinda snuck in there
Like clearly it was a grilled chicken sandwich
I was reading a book in the US where everyone was at a BBQ and the main character was like "I started eating my chicken burger" or something and it just felt so weird
Do people use the term chicken burger in America
